Being a Skins fan and living in Maryland I am sick of the shit talking switchers and all the Purple all of the sudden everywhere. Fuck those thugg ass motherfuckers. My house erupted when that fucker missed that chip shot. Thats what they get for picking up Cowboys sloppy seconds.
Billy Cundiff -- the Baltimore Ravens' kicker who botched the kick that could have kept the team's Super Bowl dream alive -- was distracted before his field goal attempt ... to the point that coaches were yelling at him.
Two players on the team have spoken with TMZ -- one of whom says he witnessed the confrontation and another who did not witness it but says it is being widely discussed among Ravens players.
Our sources say ... immediately before Cundiff attempted the game-tying FG, he was doing what he was supposed to do -- practicing kicking on the sidelines. But as the Ravens marched down the field, Cundiff was unaware that his time to kick was looming.
It's S.O.P. for kickers to walk toward the field when the time approaches for them to kick -- ready to run into the game.
According to our sources, coaches repeatedly called for Cundiff -- at least 6 times -- to no avail -- he wasn't responding. We're told the coaches became "furious" because Cundiff wasn't ready to go.
Our sources say players and coaches are saying Cundiff was distracted ... not paying attention and not ready to immediately execute a kick.
As for how the team reacted to the botched attempt, we're told players were gracious. As one player put it, "We didn't give him a hard time because he looked like he was ready to kill himself."
As much shit as Cundiff gets for botching that chip shot (and he deserves every bit of it), that fucking pussy WR who let the ball get chopped out of his hands in the end zone deserves 10 times more.

c'mon, give the kid a break.
that DB made a great play. a split second later and the WR is celebrating a TD.
have to give credit to the DB for breaking up the pass.
the WR did not drop the ball. that ball was knocked out of his hands.
Wrong, Machado, I see what you're saying, but wrong.
Lee Evans let that ball get knocked out because he didn't catch it like it was going to send him to the Super Bowl. He just nonchalantly tried to catch the ball and turn upfield for some stupid fucking reason. He should have cradled the ball as he fell to the ground, focusing on catching the ball, not focusing on where he was going to go with the ball, which is what it looked like he was going to do.
Great play by a no-name db, but only because Lee Evans allowed it to happen.

Sports Center. Players are more worried about what they are going to do after the play than making the play. It's why DBs hit a receiver and try to flatten them only to allow them to keep running instead of wrapping them up for a tackle - tackles aren't sexy and don't get them on Sports Center. Receivers get their fingers on the ball and start thinking about the choreographed celebration they worked out the night before instead of making sure they secure the ball. Highlights are future paychecks. If Sports Center made a big deal out of good fundamentals you'd see more players get the little things right.

Cradle and fall and you're playing in two weeks.
Turn upfield to do your choreographed celebration and the ball is rolling on the ground and you leave the game on the foot of Billy Cundiff.
